Health benefits open enrollment period is active

The annual open enrollment/transfer period for both in-service employees and retirees is taking place this year between Nov. 1 - Nov. 30. During this period, active DOE employees and retirees may transfer from their current city health plan to any other plan for which they are eligible, or they may add or drop optional rider coverage from their present plan. If you do not wish to change your health plan, you do not need to take any action. All changes submitted during the open enrollment period take effect as of Jan. 1, 2023.

To make a change in your city health plan, download the following forms and guidance: 

• New York City health plans page (see comparison charts and Office of Labor Relations information)
• Health benefits change form for active employees
